What it does

Gummy Smile Treatment at Illumatox.

A gummy smile is a muscle doing its job slightly too enthusiastically. The muscles that lift the upper lip raise it further than average, exposing gum above the teeth.

Precisely placed units reduce how far that lift travels. It is a small treatment in a sensitive spot, and placement matters more here than almost anywhere else on the face — a millimetre off and the smile becomes uneven rather than softened.

Some people's upper lip elevates further than average when they smile, exposing more gum than they would like. It is a muscle behaviour, not a dental issue.

A small, precisely-placed dose reduces how far that muscle lifts. The smile stays yours; the lip simply travels a little less far.

It takes about ten minutes and lasts roughly three months.

Common questions

What people ask about gummy smile treatment.

How much does gummy smile treatment cost in Neenah?

Gummy Smile Treatment is $150 at our Neenah studio. Every price is published on our pricing page — nothing is quote-on-request.

Will my smile look strange afterwards?

It should not, and the risk is entirely about placement rather than the product. Too far off centre and you can get an uneven lift, which is why this is a treatment to have done by someone who does it regularly. It is also temporary — an imperfect result is a few months, not permanent.

How much gum is actually normal?

There is no clinical threshold, and that matters: this is a cosmetic preference, not a condition. Plenty of people show gum when they smile and have never once thought about it. If it bothers you it is worth treating, and if it does not, it genuinely does not need fixing.

How long does it last?

Around three months, sometimes a little less. Like the lip flip, the muscles around the mouth are used constantly, so the effect runs shorter here than it does on the forehead.

Will it change my smile?

It should not, and that is the skill in it. The dose is small and placed to limit how far one muscle travels rather than to stop it. Placed badly it can flatten the smile, which is why the assessment matters more here than the product does.

How soon will I see it?

Three to five days for the first change, two weeks for the final result — the same timeline as any wrinkle relaxer.
